    Mezze platter
    Allie H.

    If I could eat here every day I would- it's honestly that good. This gem has big portions for a reasonable price and it's GOOD. Mezze platter is a must- you get to sample the different dips and it's served with hot pita bread. The lamb beyti is huge!! It's super rich- lamb wrapped in dough. But just split with some people because it's a wonderful dish to try. The governors plate is also a great mix of seasoned meats served with some veggies and rice! Everything we had here was great. Nothing was "just ok". I came twice in a week because I was thinking about their hummus topped with olive oil. To top it off, service is awesome.

    Governor's (Mix Kebap) Plate
    Anisya N.

    I love the fun, vibrant ambiance straight off the bat. You order at the front and they give you a number. For two people, we got the governor's plate and chick me out. Portion sizes were quite good and we had leftovers as well! The complimentary pita was so soft and pillowy pairing well with all the meats that were juicy, tender and cooked to perfection. Also enjoyed the sides that came with it which were very refreshing. Good spot for a casual meal!

    My favorite spot for quick and classic Mediterranean food. I love the order at the front and find a seat style establishment. All of the workers are super nice and the restaurant has a really comforting homemade vibe. They provide complimentary pita bread and hummus which are so good it's almost addicting. I always order the chicken or lamb plates because they have everything you could ask for. The meats are always cooked and spiced to perfection and I am a sucker for pickled vegetables for which there are many. I love combining all the ingredients and wrapping them in the pita bread. Mediterranean food is great because there's so many ways you can mix and match your meal. I usually never shoutout the drinks at a restaurant but their house iced teas are so refreshing and I always need to have it to wash down the food.

    Platter
    Joseph K.

    When you first walk into the restaurant, you'll order from the cashier. The person working at the counter was very friendly and made great suggestions for first timers. After you're done ordering, you'll take your number and sit down at a table of your choosing. They'll bring the food over to you. The restaurant kind of reminds you of Chipotle? But slightly homier and where the kitchen side of the restaurant is blocked by equipment. I lived in the Middle East for a few years and have enjoyed my fair share of Turkish food, so my standard might be a bit high. We ordered two dishes, the Mezze Platter and the Governors Plate From the Mezze Platter, I did enjoy the first dip of hummus, but I thought it got a bit dry towards the middle since the olive oil wasn't drizzled on top. The texture reminded me of dry Greek yogurt. I was a bit disappointed with the governors plate. The lamb kebab was the best out of everything. All the other meats tasted really dry, almost as if they microwaved left overs or meats that were sitting around. Overall the service was great and the food tasted somewhat healthier and light, but not the best Turkish food I've had

    pita and hummus
    Catherine L.

    wow this might be some of the best turkish food i've had, especially for how generous the portions are for the price. you order at the counter and most things are self serve, but the staff are friendly and the ambiance is rlly nice the governor's plate is perfect if you want to try a little bit of everything. the lamb beyti was the star of the show!! the lamb was so fragrant, and the dough it was wrapped in was SOOO addicting. the chicken was also amazing, super tender and flavorful. the doner plate was just okay for me... the shaved meat was a bit too gamey i also really appreciated all the extras like the free pita and hummus, the pickled veggies, and especially the yogurt and tomato dips, which i loooved. overall, such a satisfying and well-rounded meal that i'd definitely come back for!!

    Iskender Kebap in takeout container
    Eric H.

    I've either eaten here or gotten takeout from here several times before. Most times, it's been reasonable, but recently their Adana kebabs have become obnoxiously salty. They were seasoned just fine before! I've been favoring their Iskender for lunch, which hits the right notes. Tomato sauce and meat slices over chunked up pita bread, and a side of yogurt to balance it out. They provide a grilled shishito pepper on the side, with a grilled tomato and some parsley. If dining in, it comes on a platter. Their other entrees come with a standardized set of sides: usually rice, ezme salad, pickled red cabbage, sumac seasoned red onions, and tzatziki sauce. Also comes with a pita. Their salmon comes on a thin plank and seems to be cooked well. Their falafel are flat cylinders that are reasonably tasty. The stuffed grapes leaves here are small, but still mighty. They are more spiced than they are sour. You order first at the counter. They'll give you a number and you find a place to sit. Your food will be brought out to you. There is a mix of tables, both low and high, as well as some booth seating. Their menu uses icons to indicate inclusion of certain types of ingredients or allergens. This can be helpful for those wishing to stick with or avoid certain foods. Lastly, the restaurant is located in the Triangle. This means you'll have your pick of 2 hr packing slots, try out the parking garage, or wait for someone to leave.

    Pita Bread
    Jeff B.

    I've eaten here a couple of times now and both times I have had good food. From the pita bread given as a service to the various pickled vegetables, the taste was very nice. I liked my lamb medallions best. They were tender and I could cut them with a fork. I was one of the first customers of the day and my food was ready pretty quickly. It was brought to my table. The interior is set up nicely with several items on sale near the register. There is also outdoor seating. Parking is limited in the triangle area, so be aware of that. MeezeMe may just have what you are looking for... I hope you stop by and enjoy.

    Chicken Shish Kebap
    Brooke D.

    Came here for the first time yesterday with my boyfriend and absolutely loved everything we tried! The hummus was a great size and super yummy. The lamb beyti was insane!! Super flavorful and tender and also a great size, totally worth the price. The chicken shish kebap was also an insane portion and delicious. I definitely recommend getting the garlic aioli with it. We also tried the cheesecake which I thought was good but I was so full that I honestly could have skipped this. The service here was great and the restaurant itself was very cute. I definitely recommend eating at the restaurant rather than ordering to go! Super excited to come back again :)

    One of my favorite Mediterranean spots in Austin! I came for lunch on a Wed. and the place was popping! The outdoor lot is small, but there are plenty of parking spots in the garage near by. As soon as you walk in, you place your order then find a seat. There are a few tables outside and a few booths and tables inside. We didn't have an issue finding a table. I ordered the Doner Plate. The portion was huge and you can order bread on the side. The pita is so so soft. The dish was really good and flavorful. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Services is quick. Great spot for lunch or a more casual dinner.

    Maya Gizem C.

    The food was absolutely delicious -- it's been a long time since I've had pide and lahmacun this good. The restaurant was clean, and the service was friendly. The next time I travel to Austin, I'll definitely stop by again for more amazing Turkish food!

    Disgusting Hygiene & Horrible Management -- BEWARE  I found a hair embedded in my food.

    Found a hair embedded in my food (see photos). What was even more nauseating than the contamination was the manager's appalling attitude. Instead of an apology, he tried to blame the wind and even had the nerve to suggest the hair was ours--despite it being a completely different texture and length. When I refused his offer of a replacement--as I had completely lost my appetite--he stubbornly refused a partial refund. He even tried to deflect by lying about a soup order, claiming it was "already being prepared" to avoid cancellation, when it hadn't even been ordered. The most insulting part. He arrogantly asked, "If there was hair, why did you almost finish the food?" We only found it at the bottom towards the end of the meal. His first instinct was to accuse us of being dishonest rather than taking accountability for a major hygiene failure. Reporting this to the Health Department. Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere where they actually care about hygiene and respect.

    The Front of the restaurant and outdoor seating area
    Daow W.

    Had read about this place in an Article a few years ago when it first opened up. Stored it in the back of my mind for someday. That someday came yesterday when my niece had suggested for her birthday lunch. It's been awhile since I've been to the Triangle and was pleasantly surprised at all the different eateries. The first impression is how cute it was and had the same vibe as Mandola's next door. Everyone we encounter was very nice and helpful. The lady at the counter went through the menu and gave us some recommendations. We were a bit too late for the lunch special but that's okay. We ordered a small cup of the lemon chicken orzo soup, the Fire Roasted Eggplant appetizer and two plates with a Turkish Hot tea. Everything was delicious. The bread they gave us was so light and fluffy. The soup so comforting and the size of the plates were very generous as well as colorful. I got the Meatball player... A little different than I was expecting but damn delicious nonetheless! The picked cabbage and onions pulled all the flavors together along with the perfectly cooked rice.Si ended up ordering a slice of honey cake to go. They were kind enough to split the slice so both myself and niece could take home and sample. Not Overly sweet... Perfect compliment to either a hot tea, or coffee. Definitely will come back again. The little outdoor seating is perfect for the Austin Sunshine. Great first Impression!!

    At times, the Austin food scene can feel incredibly boring. Restaurants in this city face high…read morecompetition, and try hard to be the next big thing, often relying on flashy gimmicks and a sort of odd corporate hospitality that feels more sterile than welcoming. In trying to be unique, many places feel like carbon copies of the same restaurant concept, all clawing desperately to have your attention and business. In eating at Yamas, I was grateful to find a place where that felt markedly and clearly different. First, let's talk about the most important aspect: the food. Admittedly, my background in Greek food isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, but eating here felt quality wise so much different from other places in the city. The restaurant is family owned(Greeks of course) and you can feel the love and attention they put into making the food feel almost like a love letter to their homeland. Get the traditional Greek salad and you will feel like you picked the tomatoes out of your own backyard. Second, the ambiance is excellent. It really does feel like you're in Greece. White plaster, blue highlights, and a ton of really cool murals around the entire space. They have indoor seating, but I would definitely recommend the patio for that true Santorini vibe. Finally, what felt most refreshingly and truly Greek to me was the hospitality. Despite having no relation beforehand and a packed and busy restaurant, the owners came over to my table multiple times to check in and see how I was doing, and when I asked about ouzo (which I was unfamiliar with) the owners came over and gave me a free shot, and toasted with me. This was totally unexpected and unnecessary but super appreciated. I also saw the same thing happen at other tables so it seems like it's their thing. Really cool and makes you feel like part of their little family. Ultimately, I think this restaurant has a really refreshing ambiance and overall vibe compared to a lot of other spots in this city. Food was great, service was great(shoutout my server Oliver, really nice dude), and overall I left full and satisfied. Definitely worth a trip off the beaten path if you're a fan of Greek food. Anyone who says otherwise probably has an untreated mental illness, the palette of a picky toddler, or an IQ lower than 60.

Then, to get drinks or even the order was a problem. It took so much longer than usual. Our waitress was rude, and seemed bothered that we showed up. Then someone else came as the waitress and she was preoccupied with other tables and barely checked on us. A regular lunch which would've been one hour became almost two because of the lack of service. My friend had to stand and look for someone to give us a box to take out the good we couldn't eat because it was getting late and also to get the check because No one came in to check on us at all. It was almost like pulling teeth to get a regular service let alone good service. Again, the food was really good, and that alone was the only positive.

It's one of those places that's reliable and feels pretty consistent, knowing you're going to leave happy and full after eating here. The two times we've been there, theres always plenty of seating and are able to walk right in. It's a walk in and seat yourself experience and then you pay upon leaving. The staff keeps the dining area and buffet line consistently stocked and clean. They even provide hand sanitizer and gloves for you. Even when foot traffic picked up while we were there, the food was replenished quickly and didn't look picked over. Now let's talk food...Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and like it was made with care instead of just being "buffet food" an under seasoned. The variety is also amazing, and it's easy to build a plate for pretty much any type of diet whether you're keto, high protein, balanced, veggie-forward, vegan, etc... Some of our favorite dishes we keep coming back for: Shredded beef (SO good), Baked fish (tender and not fishy), Garlic baked chicken (wonderful crispy skin), Fried chicken, Baked kafta, Kafta kebab, Gyro meat, Roasted cauliflower, Eggplant, Greek salad, Fatoush, Kale Caesar salad, Zaatar pizza, Cheese pizza (pro tip: top it with shredded beef- a life changing buffet hack), Rice with lentils, Rice with mixed veggies. For the quality, variety and amount of food you get, this is easily one of the best deals in the city! It's rare to find a buffet that's both affordable and consistently this good! If I had one small wish, it would be for desserts to match how strong the rest of the food is. They're not bad, just a little more "fine" compared to how amazing everything else is. I've seen another Dimassi's (I think in Cali) that had a frozen yogurt machine and I'd LOVE to see that here because it would be the perfect finish! Make a cup and then crumble up some baklava on it! Overall we've LOVED it here and we'll absolutely keep coming back! Great food, clean, consistent, and worth it every time!

Between me, my husband, and my mom, we have a lot of overlap in what we like to eat, but we also have some pretty distinct preferences, and Demassi's is one of those places where that works.

I tend to find the meats too dry, I don't particularly like the spice profile, and I also find a lot of dishes in that category to be overly sour. It's hard to explain, but there's often a sharp, tangy acidity that I don't enjoy. For whatever reason, I don't have that issue at Demassi's at all. Here my husband can get his fix of dry, spiced meats, while I'm happy eating from the huge selection of rice dishes, cooked veggies, and soups. As far as protein goes, I actually really like the fish here, so I almost never eat the meat and still leave satisfied. It usually feels like a healthy pescatarian day for me, which I like. Then there's my mom, who just loves the abundance and variety of a buffet. She's happiest when she can sample a little bit of everything, build plates with lots of small bites, and then go back for more. Demassi's is perfect for that. On top of all of this, it's very reasonably priced, especially for lunch or on weeknights. It's always clean, the staff is consistently courteous, and they are really on top of bussing tables, which matters a lot to me at a buffet. Dirty dishes piling up are never an issue here. Overall, it's a solid, reliable spot for us and a place we're always happy to suggest when we're trying to please multiple people with different tastes.

I also ordered the fried dill pickles, which are another personal favorite of mine. They were perfectly fried and full of flavor.

Parking was a bit of a challenge but was able to park on the curb out front. Once inside, we placed our order at the counter and pre-paid and were given a number. They have an extensive menu with traditional Greek dishes and all-day breakfast options. As well as a full bar offering aromatic coffee, hand-crafted cocktails, fine wine, and a selection of local and international beers. The restaurant was busy we were able to place our order in a timely fashion. I opted for a cocktail along with lentils and rice and added chicken as the protein. There was indoor and outdoor seating available. After ordering, we sat outside in the most cozy and intimate outdoor seating area. Unfortunately, after waiting 30+ minutes, we never received our food. When we checked at the counter, the interaction felt pretty condescending, staff insisted the order had already been brought out even though we never received it and still had our number with us. At that point we had to cancel the order so we wouldn't miss our show. I do appreciate that they offered a full refund without issue, but overall the experience left us disappointed, especially with how the situation was handled.

    I really enjoyed dining at The Greek Bar and was surprised I hadn't discovered it sooner. My…read moreboyfriend and I decided to check it out while looking for an early dinner spot on a Saturday evening, and we were pleasantly impressed from the start. The waitstaff were extremely attentive and welcoming--two men and one woman--and made us feel comfortable right away. One of the male servers took the time to walk us through much of the menu, thoughtfully explaining the different dishes, which we really appreciated. We started with a shareable appetizer: the pick-three dips with pita. The portion came with plenty of pita, and we chose the eggplant dip, a split pea-based dip, and a whipped potato dip. While all were good, the whipped potato dip was my favorite--it was unique and especially delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the vegetable skewer. The presentation was beautiful, and the dish was very flavorful. It also came with pickled vegetables, which added a nice balance. My boyfriend ordered a shrimp dish that was more stew-like; he mentioned the tomatoes tasted very fresh and really enjoyed it. Overall, the meal was filling, well-portioned, and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be coming back.

    Met a friend for brunch around 11:00 AM on a beautiful Saturday morning. Sun shining and loving the…read morewarmish mornings. Small place easy to access, get there early! Or better yet make a reservation from their website. We were able to seat outside half way under the covered patio, I'm giving a 4 because of the pesky flies/bees which I know they have no control over but maybe a few bug zappers wouldn't hurt. Started off with a Mimosa, then added the Melitzana, roasted eggplant like a course dip with fresh pita bites & pickled vegetables, so yummy. I ordered the Avgolemono Soup, extra creamy with egg and delicious. It was really good. My friend ordered the Aegean Omelette, wow that was a plate full of deliciousness. Our server was very attentive, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had extra pita for our dip. Highly recommend, will be returning for dinner service.

    The food, everything, was very good. I had the Shish Tawook (chicken) with tabbouleh and hummus…read more The tabbouleh was fantastic! I don't know if it was authentic or not, but it was so good! The staff member that I dealt with was personable, pleasant, etc. Only one negative--I wish I could give the place a 4.5, but I don't think a 4 is fair--After I indicated that I was finished eating and ready for the bill (maybe I didn't communicate it so clearly?), it seemed to take quite a while before they came with the check. Otherwise, great food! (I did not try the hookah at all.) Oh, I forgot to mention: I was served a bottle of spring water rather than a bottle of "purified" water. That was fairly impressive.

    I gave 4 stars to give them the benefit of the doubt, but my actual experience felt closer to 2…read morestars. The main problem was the noise. The acoustics were very bad. The hardwood ceiling and the glass window in front of me seemed to amplify sound from every direction. I was with a group of six men, and none of us could hear each other. As the noise increased, every table seemed to raise its volume just to communicate, and it became painful. The food had a BBQ flavor, which was different for Mexican food. Some people may like that, but it was not what I expected. It was 4 star food. I think sitting outside would probably be much better.
